Pros

The coworkers are a good group of people to work with. Very easy to talk to. It is a community of people willing to share knowledge to help you learn. They don't hoard it, worrying you may be out for their job. They are supportive and want you to succeed.

Cons

Once you are in a position, it is hard to move up. Multiple people have been told they are too integral in their position and it would be too difficult to replace them. It's in the best interest of the company to keep you where you are. But that is not in the best interest of the employee. There is no incentive to do your job too well, as you won't be rewarded with a promotion as you might have been promised in the interview.

Pros

Good money and bennies. Lots of voluntary ot.

Cons

Union politics. Seems like the most lazy and useless people have it the best. If you work hard and do outstanding work you will be rewarded as much or less than the guy standing around all day screwing up everything.

Good Company Upper Average pay and benefits

Pros

Good Company Upper Average pay and benefits 401k with match. Decent insurance with a few options. HR is informative through emails and online teaching.

Cons

Some of the management can be chaotic and demoralizing micro managers. They are so worried about what they should not be and not worried about the huge issues in their face. High volume of contract/Temp workers with the same expectations as full time. Sad thing is the company keeps them on with the promise of becoming full time for years. It’s also tough for the full time employees that are expect to carry the torch of Komatsu Way with so many demoralized temp management and office workers that have lost faith. Get rid of old infrastructure and get newer technology.
